Evolution of life
Life is a process constantly aspiring for evolution. The journey from the subtlest
the form of an organism to a full-grown human being happens in an unconscious way. But,
further evolution of a human being to the highest transcendental state can be
transpired only consciously. It is because the structure of a human being, the utmost
craft of biological efficiency is sculptured in such a way, where life bounces
incessantly to grow towards a limitless possibility. This journey of boundless longing
can be carried forward intentionally only. It is the profound instinct of human beings to
go beyond that which restricts their ability, suspects their will power and restrains
their liberty.
